Dear all,

I want to maintain the Inventory Transactions of our company stocks. We have
around 20 customers and couple of suppliers. I have taken Northwind
database has a sample and done the tables viz, Category, Products (we have
around 80 Products), Employees, Orders, Order Details, Suppliers & Shippers.
Now i want to maintain the Stock in-flow and out-flow. for example:

1) We purchase the Items from Suppliers > I want to add the purchased qty.
to my stock to each item (80 Models)
2) We supply to our customers > I want to deduct stock. and have the closing
stock or Stock left in hand.

I know you'll can help me in this regard. Thanks in Advance.

Karan.
 
Mr. Browne,

I thank you for the valuable help. I did understood the idea but, i
couldn't execute it. Is there any sample file to refer and proceed. I am a
beginner to MS Access and couldn't able to do what is there in that example.

Once again thanks for help and tips.

Karan.
 
There is not a sample database, because in our experience there is no
one-size-fits-all solution. Some cases involve multiple sites, perishable
goods that have to be handled on a FIFO basis, individual serial numbers
that need to be tracked, variations in valuation (where the purchase prices
vary wildly), and many other factors.

So, there will be a learning curve if you choose to do this yourself:
1. getting the data structure correct (absolutely crucial, though not
necessarily difficult);
2. learning queries (crucial, not too difficult);
3. learning VBA (big curve if you have never programmed before).
 
Dear All,

Please, help me in do the below said inventory database.

i need it very badly, and couldn't able to do it myself. I think with all
your help i might get what i want !!

Please, give me suggestions and tips on how to go about it.

As i said i have taken the Northwind sample database as an example and build
the tables.

Mainly, stocks which comes from purchaser and going out to the buyers.

Waiting for valuable tips !
